The opportunity: your next adventure awaits

Technology Consulting business is a fast-growing sub-service line within EY’s Consulting service line. A dynamic group focused on providing high-value independent, trusted advice to clients, with a focus on transformation programmes.

EY work with clients in creating value and delivering world-class Digital, Data & IT capabilities to support business needs. Working closely with our industry groups and leveraging the EY brand as independent, trusted advisors, we provide our high-profile clients with a range of services.

We are looking for a hands-on developer with strong expertise in Golang and Python who can design and build AI-powered solutions and autonomous agents end to end. You will work on integrating LLMs into production systems — APIs, data pipelines, and agentic workflows — and will be expected to leverage modern AI coding tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) as a force multiplier in your daily development.

      Your Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and deploy applications and microservices in Golang and Python that leverage AI/ML capabilities
• Architect and build AI agents — multi-step reasoning workflows, tool/function calling, memory, planning, and orchestration — using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, or custom agentic loops
• Build and integrate solutions using LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) including RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, and vector database integrations (pgvector, Pinecone, FAISS)
• Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) effectively for rapid prototyping, refactoring, test generation, and agent-driven coding workflows
• Develop high-performance backend services and APIs (Gin/Echo/gRPC in Go; FastAPI in Python)
• Write clean, testable, production-grade code with proper version control (Git) and CI/CD practices
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business problems into AI-driven solutions
• Other cognate duties

To qualify, candidates must have:

• A related bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field or any STEM degree (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics)
• Approximately 3-6 of experience in related field will be an advantage.
• Design, develop, and deploy applications and microservices in Golang and Python that leverage AI/ML capabilities
• Architect and build AI agents — multi-step reasoning workflows, tool/function calling, memory, planning, and orchestration — using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, or custom agentic loops
• Build and integrate solutions using LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) including RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, and vector database integrations (pgvector, Pinecone, FAISS)
• Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) effectively for rapid prototyping, refactoring, test generation, and agent-driven coding workflows
• Develop high-performance backend services and APIs (Gin/Echo/gRPC in Go; FastAPI in Python)
• Write clean, testable, production-grade code with proper version control (Git) and CI/CD practices
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business problems into AI-driven solutions

Ideally, you will also have

• Strong hands-on Golang development: goroutines, channels, concurrency patterns, building high-performance microservices, gRPC, and CLIs
• Strong hands-on Python development (3+ years): OOP, async programming, common libraries (Pandas, NumPy)
• Deep practical understanding of building AI agents — agent architectures (ReAct, plan-and-execute), tool calling, MCP (Model Context Protocol), context/memory management, and agent evaluation
• Demonstrated experience using AI coding tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.) as part of the development workflow — agentic coding, spec-driven development, and prompt-based engineering, not just autocomplete
• Solid AI/ML fundamentals: how LLMs work, embeddings, fine-tuning vs. RAG, evaluation basics
• Working knowledge of SQL/NoSQL databases; exposure to vector databases is a plus
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), Docker, and Kubernetes basics

Good to Have

• Multi-agent orchestration and inter-agent communication patterns (A2A, agent swarms)
• Exposure to MLOps, model deployment, or fine-tuning open-source models (LoRA/QLoRA)
• Understanding of AI security concerns (prompt injection, data leakage, agent guardrails)
• Contributions to open-source AI/agent projects

What We Offer

• Opportunity to build cutting-edge AI agents and products from the ground up
• An AI-native engineering culture where modern tooling is embraced, not restricted
